Abstract
The new neutron-deficient isotope218U was produced in the bombardment of197Au target with27Al ions and identified using theα-α correlation method. The α-decay energy and the half-life of218U were determined to be 8625±25 keV and 1.5 +7.3−0.7 ms, respectively. Evaporation residues recoiling from the target were separated in-flight from the projectiles and from the products of other nuclear reactions by the electrostatic separator VASSILISSA [1].
